\u201c \u201cGreat Heaven!\u201d exclaimed George Talboys, \u201cis this the way you welcome me? I come to England to find my wife dead within a week of my touching land, and you begin to chatter to me about my beard — you, her father!\u201d \u201cTrue! True!\u201d cried George\u201d (63)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This conversation is the first one that George and Maldon have had since George left. George does not hesitate to call Maldon out for not being serious and about how the first thing he said was about his beard and not his wife. George in this conversation is obviously upset and seems like he has already had enough of Maldon, which is very reasonable. Maldon on the other hand doesn\u2019t seem that fazed and is really just blaming his daughters death on George. Later in the conversation Maldon says \u201cIf you\u2019d only been here a week earlier?\u201d(63) It seems like Maldon can\u2019t take responsibility for his actions and just wants to put the blame on someone else, or it also seems like Maldon might be hiding something. It seems like he might be lying about his daughter’s death and trying to keep a secret because of the way he acted. When he first saw George it didn\u2019t seem like the way someone would act when they saw the husband of their daughter who had just died. I wouldn\u2019t think that his first reaction would be to blame him for his daughter’s death. Also at the end of the conversation Robert said to himself \u201cHe seems, for some reason or other, to be half afraid of George.\u201d(63) This shows how Maldon might not want to tell George something that would make him upset.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think that this conversation shows the relationship that George and Maldon have and Maldons suspicious actions. Even though Maldon does seem sad his altercation with George makes it seem like he is hiding something from George.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
